ABSTRACT
Aim: The purpose of the study was to provide a comprehensive medical and social justification for the feasibility and necessity of timely detection of pathology,
taking into account existing risk factors, barriers to access to health care services, and the potential for public influence to increase participation in screening.
Materials and Methods: The following research methods were used in the study: sociological; systematic approach and analysis; monitoring and evaluation
of indicators of the model implementation process; expert assessments.
The focus is on the aspects of early detection and prevention of visual forms of cervical cancer. Women’s health indicators – incidence, prevalence and mortality
from cervical cancer – are studied. Data from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the National Cancer Registry of Ukraine, the Center for Medical Statistics of
the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, and the Department of Health of the Poltava Region for 2010–2021. Legislative acts and regulatory documents governing
the organization of medical, physical, psychological, and social assistance to women with cervical cancer in Ukraine. Results of a sociological survey – 140
questionnaires.
Results: The functional and organizational model of early detection and prevention of visual forms of cervical cancer is proposed, which allows a woman to
undergo a preventive examination in two ways: through non-admission to work or voluntarily, when a woman becomes a subject of her own health, and her
husband and relatives can support her on the way to the doctor.
Conclusions: In the proposed model of early detection and prevention of cervical cancer, a woman is seen as an element of the ecosystem, which makes it
possible to involve her family and friends in preventive examinations and provide support.
